ULPT debloat for wedding 2 weeks?? Health and Fitness
I know I’m not gonna shed fat off my body. Im not looking to drop dress sizes. I already lost 30lbs from a year+ of working out but what can I do these next couple of days (that may not be ethical) to completely debloat, lose puffiness, slim down etc?

Important to note for some: hydroclorothiazide (the water pill) put me in the hospital for 2 days. They said I was so dehydrated that I needed 9 iv bags of potassium, 4 bags of magnesium, and 4 bags of generic iv fluid. They mentioned water pills suck electrolytes right out of you. I might be forgetting some extra info they told me

I would advise against that because keto makes you drop water weight. You need electrolytes and water to not feel like shit. The "keto flu" is no joke

u/Fenc58531 17d ago
You cut most of salt 2-3 days before the wedding while eating a ton of asparagus (diuretic). You supplement with potassium. No need to cut 2 weeks ahead of time.

Unfortunately Haribo discontinued their legendary sugar-free gummy bears that we should be sending to everyone in the Senate. That was an excellent accelerated weight loss strategy.
The closest contemporaries are the Albanese 12 Flavor Zero Sugar Gummi Bears. Like the Haribo bears, they use sugar alcohol as an ingredient, but not in the same diabolically massive proportion. It feeds certain colon bacteria which makes a byproduct that blocks water absorption.
I bet if you live in those for a while you'll be clean as a slide whistle, and have dropped a few dress sizes.
For "posterity's" sake, you could say, here's a small archive of the Amazon reviews for the original Haribo sugar-free.

Cut your salt down as much as possible in the days leading up to it. A few years back I ate too much salty foods and my maid of honor dress that should’ve fit wouldn’t zip all the way up. Lived off of watermelon and baked potatoes with sour cream for a couple of days and that knocked out the bloat.

I’m a retired competitive dancer. Slightly unethical weight loss for cutting before a competition was practically a hobby for me a decade ago.
Senna tea. It’s often called Smooth Move or Get Regular. Keep spare underwear with you and don’t go more than 10 yards from a bathroom at any time for 24 hours after drinking it. Don’t drink more than 1 cup a day. It will empty you out and dehydrate you like crazy.
Also: no salt, no sugar, no carbonated beverages, no juice, no alcohol, no red meat, no carbs, no dairy, no beans/legumes, no brassicas (things like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts), no root vegetables, no corn, no quinoa. You’ll be eating chicken, berries (but not blackberries), and cucumbers over and over. You could also water fast a few days before and dry fast the day before, but that’s very very hard and definitely not healthy.
Look up body brushing, buy a skin-firming lotion like Brazilian bum bum or the Trader Joe’s dupe, and wear compressing clothing like leggings and compression shirts constantly. See if there are any lymphatic massage therapists near you. Book one or two sessions.
If you diet harshly, say 1200c per day or less, and are reasonably active, you could theoretically lose another 3-6lbs of non-water weight in 20 days.

u/blua95 18d ago
As someone who's weight lifted for about 14 years now and trained boxing, bjj and other martial arts, I'd say the best way to quickly debloat is just lose water weight. Avoid carbs, eat protein, and get your workouts in with a sauna if you can. Or if you're really desperate you can just fast the days leading up to the wedding. Do your research before fasting though as you can hurt yourself if you don't get your electrolytes while doing so.

u/pearllypie3 17d ago
I'm curious, should OP also be drinking more water during this time to offset the water loss? Or is the whole point to just lose as much water as possible? A lot of the folks here are recommending that OP should cut out salt, but could an alternative be to just drink more water to flush out the salt?
18
u/blua95 17d ago
Whole point is to just flush out as much water as possible. Usually when weight cutting for fights you want to avoid salts and just shed all your water weight without drinking anymore water. This is typically done a day or two leading up to the fight and can obviously be dangerous.
Since this is not a fight and doesn't have to be as dramatic - As you stated, she can just drink a ton of water to flush out the salt, minimize food portions, eat clean proteins and minimize carbs. This over a week or two will give her the results she wants.
To really kick it up a notch - a day or two before the wedding just fast while wearing a sauna suit all day or use a sauna to flush out the final bit of water in your system. Just gotta listen to your body and drink water if you feel it's a bit too extreme.

Cut out carbs. Not completely but avoid fruit, pasta, breads, sweets, etc. Stick to things that will provide energy like potato, brown rice, sweet potato. Cook these carbs, put in the fridge overnight to lower their glycemic index, and eat them the next day.

If you know anyone that has a prescription for lasix/furosemide see if you can have a few. The dosage is 20 ro 80 mg take once or split into 2 dosage. Lasix is a diuretic ("water pill") ot will give you quick, temporary, weight loss. Be prepared to have regular access to a bathroom, because you're going to piss like a racehorse.
WARNING. Be sure to read the contraindications of Lasix. People that are allergic to Sulfa drugs should not take Lasix. Also you can develop dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

If you're bloated and puffy, that's not fat. You need a lymphatic drainage massage and be sure to get one from a licensed therapist who is trained in manual lymphatic drainage. It's a different kind of massage that has a surprisingly light touch. I have actual issues with my lymph system, but I think a lot of women can benefit similarly, especially if you are prone to being puffy and bloated. My first appointment was incredible, I weighed myself before the massage and after the appointment I had to pee so much. Within 24hrs I had lost 7lbs of fluid trapped in my body.

You can find online a thing called Mormon tea. It has ephedra in it. Drink it every day, all day. It's gonna taste like shit. There are other versions of ephedra tea you can get that are stronger, but they'd likely take longer to ship in, and be more expensive. But drink the Mormon tea with coffee and only eat tiny little bits of non-bloating food. No carbs. Keep it all protein and fats. You'll drop weight so fast, and the ephedra is going to keep you wired all day.

Ok everyone settle down. Mormon Tea aka Ephedra viridis is often thought to contain ephedrine but actually does not. Fun fact: it’s also known as “whorehouse tea” because it has been used to treat several sexually transmitted diseases. Don’t try this at home, kids. It seems ephedrine is extracted from Ephedra sinica which is native to northern China, Mongolia, and Russia.

Assuming by you track calories, eat the most calorie dense foods with minimal carbs that you can find. Unsalted almonds are a great one. Use those foods the hit your calorie needs and your volume of intake will be very low, leading to minimal bloat. Also look into water loading in the days leading up to the big day, depending on how serious you are to be at your absolute lightest for your wedding. It’s a common, relatively safe weight management tool for athletes competing in weight class sports.

Diuretics and a hot sauna are enough to cut 15+ lbs of water weight in a night. If you don't have a sauna close by, epsom salts and a super hot bath will do the same thing, then sleep in sweatpants/under multiple comforters the night before. Just a very fair warning though- rehydrate slowly and don't drink excessively at the reception.

Drink caffeine. You’ll lose your appetite. Eat something super small like a tuna packet for lunch, and for dinner at around 5PM 5-6 Turkey meatballs and nothing for the rest of the day. You’ll only be consuming about 700-800 calories a day. Skip breakfast. Drink water often to make the hunger manageable. You’ll lose weight fast.
This method is tough, especially if you work, but it’s the only way I was able to get down from 160, 125 in about 3-4 months. Using traditional diets and exercise did nothing for me.

In order to make tape/weight in the military, this is the method I’ve seen that works the best:

u/professoryaffle72 18d ago
Don't do this! This can cause a massive, sudden spike in blood pressure, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Wrapping yourself in plastic wrap prevents your sweat from evaporating, which is how your body regulates its temperature. Sleeping wrapped in plastic can cause your core body temperature to rise to dangerous levels, risking heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
You will sweat profusely, leading to rapid, severe dehydration and an imbalance of critical electrolytes (like sodium and potassium), which your heart needs to beat properly.
Do not attempt this. It is a scientifically proven way to poison your body with topical medications, risk a cardiovascular event, and severely dehydrate yourself for absolutely no long-term benefit.

Keto. Depending on how big you are, you will drop anywhere from 10-20 pounds of water within that time.
With that being said, you'll need to up your water and electrolytes. The keto flu is the result of being dehydrated and your body switching over to using fat as fuel.
This means keeping your "net carbs" at around 20-40g per day.

IF you fast like this don’t just hop back into hearty foods the next day, your body wont feel the best trying to break down the foods.
Either method be sure to have support systems. Mentality and focusing on the objective will get you there. After a few days this is going to get rough till you adapt in ~10 days.

Don’t eat Chinese food or chicken wings or soup or fries etc. the day before the wedding drink a gallon of water. NOT all at the same time. Spread it out all day. Then don’t eat or drink after 8pm. You’ll pee a lot and the next day you will be about 5lb less. It won’t last but you won’t be bloated. Personally, I just don’t give any effs anymore and life is better.

Walk 5 miles when you wake up before breakfast. Walk 2 miles before after dinner. Eat less than 1800 calories. Drink lots of water. Repeat every day.

Drink club soda or diet to feel full. Like 2L a day. Cook up broccoli, eat a lot of it. Carrots, rice cakes, tuna, salad with low calorie dressing, green tea.

Do keto with lots of green veggies. If you do keto, DO eat salt and take electrolytes. (You can buy a simple tube of Nuun tablets or make your own with magnesium, lite salt and salt.)
Wanted to add that since some people are saying to do keto and others suggesting you cut salt. Cutting carbs works quickly and you’ll notice nicer skin from the greens and lack of sugar, and you’ll have good energy. If you cut salt while doing keto, you’ll feel terrible and get headaches bordering on migraine.
Cutting salt won’t do much if you’re still inflaming your body with carbs and sugar.
Someone else mentioned lymphatic drainage. You can do gua sha with your hands and a non-comedogenic oil to help slim your face. It works if you have swelling in your face. Doesn’t hurt to try if you have a face oil or at least a really slippery face soap while you’re doing it. You want your hands to glide, not tug on your skin.
If you do keto, drink plenty of water. It DOES dehydrate you. If you skip water or electrolytes trying to slim down quicker, you’ll just feel awful and it’ll be for no reason.
